“Port of Prosper” explores the industrial side of Oshawa’s waterfront with a focus on the active port and former harbour grounds.
Oshawa is a city of industrial transportation that remains humble. The port supplies salt and steel products, along with sugar, asphalt and grain by importing and exporting shipments from international waters and serving the greater Toronto area. As a historically blue-collar town, this sector of the city is another key industrial component of its identity.
Fall 2023 - Spring 2024: Created for a Temporary Public Art Outdoor Photography Exhibit in Ed Broadbent Park with the support of the City of Oshawa. Installation photos of the Public Art Exhibit can be found under ‘exhibit’.

This project aims to bring the inside of our industrial port into a public space, paired with highlights of the former harbour grounds consumed by the environment. With a mix of industrial landscapes, portraits and nods to nature, these images explore the port from an intimate perspective, driven by curiosity and childhood memories of ship watching.
